[edit] Enzo (dog actor)

This is totally unencyclopaedic. No one really wants or needs to know about a certain dog-stunt double. If anything, this stub should be added to the Frasier article. Dante 03:33, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect to Moose (dog actor) (the dog on Frasier), which already contains more on Enzo than this stub. --best, kevin ···Kzollman | Talk··· 03:55, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect as per Kzollman Dlyons493 Talk 06:27, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect it's hard to discuss one without the other. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:23, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect per all. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 08:29, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect, Moose (dog actor) already covers this. — JIP | Talk 10:48, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect. Dante, if nobody really wanted to know about it, then why did someone start the article? Eliot 22:27, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Probably because someone thought Wikipedia was a place to gather every single bit of knowledge available, however useless.

• Waffling on save or redirectSave. There are 7 articles that link to it, so it's not completely inconsequential. Although every one of them seems to mention Moose in the same sentence, see Quill's argument following. Also, just because you have no interest in prominent dog actors doesn't mean that other people aren't very interested in them, their trainers, and their credits.

• Save; perhaps redirect, but I would give it a chance first. Dante's point can't be taken. No one needs to know about a dog stunt double because it’s not encyclopedic? On the other hand, everyone needs to know about each and every mythological creature in the Harry Potter series, which is of vital encyclopaedic significance. No one’s interested in this? As opposed to what? Gurg?

Someone pointed out at one of the TALK pages in a dog breed article, probably the Jack Russell Terrier, that Enzo has actually done more work than Moose in the films in which they were both credited, My Dog Skip e.g.. Enzo will also outlive Moose; it’s anyone’s guess as to what he’ll do post Frasier. I’d say just give it time; we’ve given grace to stubs of more esoteric nature than this. Some expert on dog actors is going to come along eventually. For that matter, someone looking for dog actors is going to come along….

This is a Wikipedic failing. Every damned soap opera character gets a mention, but someone wanted Martin Luther King Sr axed because he wasn’t significant; on the other hand, we really need Sarah Winthrop. And I don’t know about you, but my life would not be complete without having read the encyclopedic entry on Todd Grimshaw. Have some patience, people.

And for whoever wrote this, since I'm the undiscriminating 'someone' who thought 'Wikipedia was a place to gather every single bit of knowledge available, however useless', feel free to delete some of my other ideas, butler, great house, suffix (name), fox terrier or anything else with my signature that most others would not be interested in. Think first, type second.

• Save. I am not no-one, I think that dog actors are interesting. I'd like more information, who trained them, what they are trained to do, what shows they have performed in. THis is all interesting to me. It's very hard to find this sort of information on dogs that perform in movies and television. So, you may call me inclusionist, but Wikipedia is not paper - while I would like this article to have more information, it's certainly notable enough to merit an article. - Trysha ^(talk) 05:43, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
